. To all whom as may cmwom:

BB it known that 1, Emma 31m of Titlisvillo, the county of Omwfonl, and Slate of iennaylvonia, hove invented 'carmlu new and useful lmprovemontis in Bcmpem zmd Searchers for Gil or-Arzeoiem Walls, of whioh file l'ollowing is a full, olemyaml oxaot clewiplloo, reference Timing m $90 the oooommn'ying drawings, which make part of this spooificoolon, mull in wlfiol- Figure 1 represents a view, partly in elevwsion partly in section, of my imprm'd well-acsap-e n swollei'; V

The object of my invenizion isto provide a simple and efilci nt devise for oeraplogg 411s: walls of oilor :1 wells, and freeiog them from or other foreign matters, as well as dot oozing the plasma and.

position offiows, om'fices, or obsmotiooo in 1311's wells;

to which ends,

My improvements consist in foil: or more momma crapem, @lvoted, at their upper soils, to 2, Hookah, oe-

cured upon a, control rod, whieli is oonnocteli to the maker-rod. of the well, tho feet of me oompers hsing null-led, by bent spillage, to a oollm, sllding upon the central rod, which collar is grossed uglwawle, lay a opiml spring, in such manner as to force thel feet of the semi em onwards, and keep them pressed against the walls ofthe well, with a, tendency to enter anycrevice therein: The bent springs, which unite the scram'rsand collar, pass under friction-rollers, mounted in bearings upon. a carriage, which slides upon lho centml rod, above the collar, and is connected therewith by a splml B lling, the said carriage being drawn up, when desired, by a rod, in such manner as to press the bent springs in towards the central mo, ami thereby withdrow the foot of the sciapem from the crevice or obawcla which they; may have encouubered, the mull-age a nrl boo: springs being returned to thoir former posit-ion, when the lifcing-rod is released, by the apiml spring which oonnecl's the eamiage and collar.

In the accompanying drawings, Tibial] Bl'lOW a conmnient armo'gemenfi of parts for'corrylog out the obw jeots of r'ny invention- A represents a stout metallic rod, which is: secured to the Booker-rod of the well by means of a snow, a, out upon its upper end, or in other suitable manner.

A memllm'socket or bearlng-pleoe, E, is secured upon the rod A, mean" its upper and, having four 01 more metallic scrapers, C, pivoted to it at their appelends, in sucllmamner M to be capoble ofoscillzating radially from thi central rod, A.

The. SQIMKIS O, which are bus of square or melongular cross-section, are widened and curved ouswonls at their hollows, ao as to lbrm foot or scraping-ms, c, which are carved, in o mmspnmling m'azmer, m fills d am 19mm 1a. loos.

The springs Dipoas undor fi'ioision-rollors d, moimrloll bealings on o corrlogo, I), which alleles noon the oorlfiral rod, A, above Elie collar E, and lo connected with ll lay a, spiral spring, G.

A weight, or bob, H is Boom-ad upon the bottom of the lGil A, on top of which 2, spiral spring, F, which encircles the rod and prossesl agaifiolz fiho bottom l'lla springs i3, is to lieep'tlle Feet ol the scrape; pressall out against the walls of the wall, with 2. leadenoy to move still forms? ouowaxfils.

The apparatus being moored to the anchor-mil, and lowered into the well, the springs F and. {3' G maintain one feet oflshe sompem PEGBSBQ ogoinstits walls, thereby removing, in its descent, tho pamfiioa or other foreign matters therefrom.

When the feet of the now-pars arrive at, a 152m or crevice in the well tho pxeas ore of line spzings'aforesaill of 'llfi crevice or lilo-w by soopping the apparatus.

The millage D is than miserl by means of tlio rod D pressing tho springs. GT in towaulsthe central rod, A, and. thereby withdrawing the feet of the samplers When the rod D- is released, the spiralsglring; G, whloh moneots the carriage D and collar El, draws down the former to its original posifiion, allowing the float of the scrapers to resume theil" contact; with the walls-of the well.

When the feat of the scrapers strike against obstruolions, they are llmwn in, to pass t-lwm, by elevating the mm'ogo D, as stated, and allowed 150 expondgfizer the obstruction is passed, before;

My improvement affords a, desirable means of detoct-iug crevices or obstructions in oil or artesiao walla, one of scmpio and cleaning lho walls of the game, and has been band by me, in yreoolsioe to work in 2: reliable and. satisfactory nmnoez'.

I do not broadly claim Elie use of heat; springs praoslug directly against. lshe walls, of a well; neither do 1 i claim the lifting-mo D; but
